AI Infrastructure
Phenom's AI looks past department and tenure to make a match, so someone in a different office or business unit surfaces with the same weight as someone the mentee already knows.
Connect mentors and talent.
Finding a mentor still depends on who you already know. Phenom matches mentors and mentees on skills, interests, and goals. It suggests mentors from outside the mentee's own department, and turns every pairing into a step in a development plan.
You can't match a whole company in a spreadsheet
Somewhere right now, a program owner is pairing mentors and mentees by hand, one name at a time. Or a roomful of leaders is spending days making those pairings. Either way, whoever makes the matches can only pair the people they already know. And once the pairs are made, nothing gets written down, so there's no way to know which relationships are still active. Phenom matches on skills and goals, and keeps a record of what happens next.
Mentoring that runs on skills, not chance.
Match on what someone needs to learn.
When employees go looking for a mentor, the only candidates they can think of are the people they already work with. Phenom Mentoring recommends mentors based on skills, experience, and career goals, so a match rests on what the mentee needs to learn and what the mentor can teach.
Employees can ask Anyone can browse suggested mentors and send a request.
One profile Matching uses the same skills profile that powers career paths and gigs.
Beyond the department The right mentor can come from anywhere in the company.
Mentoring where growth already happens.
People rarely want a mentor just to have one. They go looking when there's a gap to close on the way to a role they want. In Phenom, mentoring sits beside career paths, learning, and gigs on one employee profile, and it shows up in the development plan as a real step, aimed at the skill the mentee is working on.
A step, not a side project Mentoring lands in the plan, tied to a target role.
One place to grow Phenom is already where employees go for career paths, learning, and gigs.
Shaped to your culture Guided matching for some programs, open search for others.
Run a program without chasing people.
Most mentoring happens outside any system: the pairs live in one person's spreadsheet, nobody has a record of who is matched with whom, and there's no way to prove the program made any difference. In Phenom, enrollment, matching, goals, and sessions sit in one place, so you can finally see what the program is doing.
A governed pool You decide who's eligible to mentor before any matching starts.
Progress you can see Goals and session notes live in the system, not in someone's inbox.
Automatic reminders The system sends them, so the program doesn't rest on one person's follow-up.
Matching that looks past who a mentee already knows
Mentor fit scored on skills, goals, and lived experiences, integration with the HRIS already tracking eligibility, and a mentor pool controlled by the program before any match is made.

Mentoring for us previously consisted of randomness... there was no visibility into it in terms of 'Why you? Why me?', which leads to some very awkward introductions.
Phenom helped us build a tool that created an ecosystem for us, not just for people to find their next jobs, but to actually grow within the company, build a network, and build mentorships.
Mentoring, made easy.

Mentor matching software pairs mentors with talent across a company based on skills, goals and experience, instead of relying on who already knows whom. Phenom Mentoring lets employees opt in and build a profile, then recommends best-fit mentor and mentee matches automatically, including mentors from outside the mentee's own department. Administrators no longer build pairs by hand in a spreadsheet, and every pairing becomes a step in a development plan.
Phenom Mentoring matches on the same skills ontology behind career paths and internal mobility. It reads skills, experience and career goals on both sides, so every suggestion comes with a reason: this mentor has already done what the mentee is trying to learn. Mentors describe the skills they can share and the goals they have, and they see the mentee's profile, goals and career path before accepting a request, so the first conversation starts with common ground.
Both. With Phenom, employees can browse and request mentors on their own, and the system also recommends best-fit matches automatically. Mentors raise their hand to join the pool, mentees see recommended mentors ranked by fit, and program owners decide how structured each program is, from guided matching for some programs to open search for others.
No. Phenom's mentor matching works from what employees already have on record, including their skills, stated goals and past roles, and suggestions get sharper as profiles fill in. Mentoring also helps complete those profiles, since goals and session notes are written back. Waiting for perfect profiles only costs you the mentoring relationships that would have formed in the meantime.
Once a request is accepted, Phenom gives mentors and mentees one place to set shared goals, track sessions and keep summaries and files. Automatic reminders keep things moving, so the relationship follows a real arc instead of trailing off after the first meeting, and program owners can see progress without chasing anyone.
Yes. In Phenom, you decide who's eligible to mentor before any matching starts, and you can require validation or approval before someone joins the mentor pool. Phenom connects to your HRIS to keep eligibility, department and tenure data current.
Phenom runs mentoring, gigs, career paths and learning on one skills foundation and one employee profile, so each feeds the others. A career path exposes a skill gap, and a mentor match helps close it, which a stack of separate HR modules can't do on its own. Phenom customers run more than 1,000 active mentorship programs and have seen a 30% reduction in turnover tied to lack of growth. At Cigna, Phenom helped build "an ecosystem" where employees can "grow within the company, build a network, and build mentorships."
